A Million Dreams
The Greatest Showman Ensemble Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I close my eyes and I can see
The world that′s waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I′ve lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design

′Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it′s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

There′s a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don′t care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Runaway to a world that we design

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it′s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it′s gonna take




A million dreams for the world we′re gonna make
For the world we're gonna make

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman Ensemble convey a sense of hope, determination, and imagination. The song opens with the singer closing their eyes and envisioning a world that is waiting for them, a world they can call their own. It represents a longing for a brighter, more fulfilling future. The mention of going through the door and exploring uncharted territories suggests a desire for adventure and discovering new possibilities. Despite the unknown, the singer feels a deep connection to this world, as if it already feels like home.


The lyrics also touch upon the skepticism and criticism that can come from others when we dare to dream big. The phrase "they can say it all sounds crazy" acknowledges that people might doubt or dismiss their aspirations. However, the singer defiantly declares that they don't care and urges themselves and others to embrace their perceived craziness. They believe in the power of creating their own reality, designing a world that aligns with their dreams. It reflects a refusal to be limited by societal norms or other people's opinions.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the impact of these dreams on the singer's daily life. While lying in bed, their mind fills with vivid, vibrant colors, symbolizing the vividness and vitality of their dreams. These dreams keep them awake, which suggests both excitement and a sense of urgency to bring their visions to life. The lyrics convey the potential that lies within the world, the possibility of creating something extraordinary. The repeated phrase "a million dreams is all it's gonna take" highlights the belief that the accumulation of individual dreams can lead to a transformative collective change that can shape a better world.


In the second verse, the lyrics introduce the concept of building a house filled with things from far away. This metaphorical house represents not only physical shelter but also a sanctuary of happiness and comfort. The special things collected inside the house are intended to bring joy, even on rainy days. It reinforces the notion that our dreams can provide solace and strength during difficult times. Once again, the skepticism and criticism of others are acknowledged, but the singer insists on disregarding them and encourages running away to the world they design.


The bridge of the song conveys an invitation and a plea to share and unite in our dreams. It recognizes that while we may not always agree on every detail, it's important to support and include each other in the pursuit of a shared vision. It encourages collaboration, acknowledging that the world we collectively envision holds value for both the singer and those around them. The closing repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that the power of dreams can lead to a world that will be made, not just for oneself, but for everyone.


Overall, the lyrics of "A Million Dreams" embody the belief in the transformative power of imagination and the importance of embracing our dreams regardless of criticism. It celebrates the idea that together, through individual dreams and collective effort, we have the ability to shape a better world.


Line by Line Meaning

I close my eyes and I can see
I shut my eyes and in my mind's eye, I envision


The world that's waiting up for me
A realm that eagerly anticipates my presence


That I call my own
That I claim as my personal domain


Through the dark, through the door
Amidst obscurity and uncertainty, across the threshold


Through where no one's been before
Exploring uncharted territories, devoid of previous exploration


But it feels like home
Yet it offers a sense of familiarity and belonging


They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
Some may assert, even insist, that it is nonsensical


They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
Let them claim my sanity has vanished


I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
I possess no concern, no matter the label of insanity


We can live in a world that we design
Together, we can inhabit a reality of our own creation


'Cause every night I lie in bed
Each evening as I recline upon my mattress


The brightest colors fill my head
The most vibrant hues inundate my thoughts


A million dreams are keeping me awake
Countless aspirations prevent me from slumbering


I think of what the world could be
I ponder the potential of the universe


A vision of the one I see
An envisagement of the ideal existence I perceive


A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A multitude of aspirations is the sole requirement


A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
Numerous desires to shape the future we shall construct


There's a house we can build
There exists a dwelling we can erect


Every room inside is filled
Each chamber is replete with


With things from far away
Objects originating from distant lands


The special things I compile
The unique items I gather together


Each one there to make you smile
Each intended to evoke a smile from your countenance


On a rainy day
During a day afflicted by showers


They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
Dissenters may declare, without a doubt, that it is preposterous


They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
They are free to assert that our sanity has disappeared


I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Their opinions hold no significance, regardless of the label they attach


Runaway to a world that we design
Escape with me to an existence of our own making


Every night I lie in bed
Each evening as I recline upon my mattress


The brightest colors fill my head
The most vibrant hues inundate my thoughts


A million dreams are keeping me awake
Countless aspirations prevent me from slumbering


I think of what the world could be
I ponder the potential of the universe


A vision of the one I see
An envisagement of the ideal existence I perceive


A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A multitude of aspirations is the sole requirement


A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
Numerous desires to shape the future we shall construct


However big, however small
Regardless of scale or magnitude


Let me be part of it all
Permit me to participate in its entirety


Share your dreams with me
Reveal your aspirations to me


You may be right, you may be wrong
Your perception could be accurate, or it could be mistaken


But say that you'll bring me along
However, proclaim that you will include me


To the world you see
To the realm that you envision


To the world I close my eyes to see
To the world that materializes when I shut my eyes


I close my eyes to see
I shut my eyes to perceive


Every night I lie in bed
Each evening as I recline upon my mattress


The brightest colors fill my head
The most vibrant hues inundate my thoughts


A million dreams are keeping me awake
Countless aspirations prevent me from slumbering


A million dreams, a million dreams
An abundance of aspirations, an abundance of aspirations


I think of what the world could be
I ponder the potential of the universe


A vision of the one I see
An envisagement of the ideal existence I perceive


A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A multitude of aspirations is the sole requirement


A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
Numerous desires to shape the future we shall construct


For the world we're gonna make
For the reality we will craft

ADAPTACIÓN ESPAÑOL

Cierro mis ojos puedo ver
El mundo que espera por mí
Al que llamo mío
A través
De todo
De donde nadie ha estado
Hogar lo siento
Ellos pueden decir
Que suena loco
Y decir que mi mente he perdido
No importa, no importa
Llámenme loco
Vivir un mundo diseñado
Cada noche al acostarme
Colores llenan mi mente
Mil sueños despierto me mantienen
Pienso en lo que podría ser
Visión que solo pude ver
En mil sueños que necesitare
Mil sueños para el mundo que vamos hacer
Un lugar construir
Cada habitación llena
Con cosas lejanas
Cosas que coleccionar
No parar de reír jamás
En un día triste
Ellos pueden decir
Que sonamos loco
Y decir que mi mente he perdido
No importa, no importa
Sí nos llaman locos
Vivir un mundo diseñado
Cada noche al acostarme
Colores llenan mi mente
Mil sueños despierto me mantienen
Pienso en lo que podría ser
Visión que solo pude ver
En mil sueños que necesitare
Mil sueños para el mundo que vamos hacer
Sea grande
O pequeño
Dejame ser parte de...
Tus sueños contigo
Puedes estar
Correcto o no
Solo llevame a lo largo
Del mundo que ves
Al que al cerrar los ojos se ve
Cerrarlos para ver
Cada noche al acostarme
Colores llenan mi mente
Mil sueños despierto me mantienen
Mil sueños son, mil sueños son
Pienso en lo que podría ser
Visión que solo puede ver
En mil sueños que necesitare
Mil sueños para el mundo que vamos hacer
Mundo que vamos hacer

Stelkari

Siempre al soñar puedo sentir
Un mundo que espera por mí
Ya quiero llegar.

Entre la oscuridad
Donde nadie fue jamás
Lo haré mi hogar.

Todos pueden decir que suena loco
Todos pueden decir que no podré
No me importa que digan que estoy loco
Un mundo para ti diseñaré.

Siempre que me voy a acostar
Colores me hacen pensar
En un millón de sueños que alcanzar.

El mundo anhelo convertir
En algo hermoso para ti
Y un millón de sueños construirán
Ese mundo que yo te quiero regalar.

Un hogar te daré
Cada espacio llenaré
Para hacerte feliz.

Algo especial te haré sentir
Para verte sonreir
En un día gris.

Todos pueden decir que suena loco
Dicen que nunca vamos a llegar
No me importa que digan que estamos locos
Juntos vamos un mundo a diseñar.

Siempre que me voy a acostar
Colores me hacen pensar
En un millón de sueños que alcanzar.

El mundo anhelo convertir
En algo hermoso para ti
Y un millón de sueños construirán
Ese mundo que yo te quiero regalar.

No importa si pequeño es
Déjame ser parte de los sueños que hay en ti
Puedes fallar o acertar,
Pero di que me llevarás al mundo que ves
Ese mundo que queremos ver, que queremos ver.

Siempre que me voy a acostar
Colores me hacen pensar
En un millón de sueños que alcanzar.
(De sueños que hay que alcanzar)

El mundo anhelo convertir
En algo hermoso para ti
Y un millón de sueños construirán
Un mundo que yo te quiero regalar.

Que te quiero regalar.

I got bored and did this for what? idk

I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home
They can say, they can say it will hurt my eyes
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, if I go blind
We can live in a world that we design
'Cause every night I lie in bed
I'm on my phone, my eyes are red
A million memes are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million memes is all it's gonna take
A million memes for the world we're gonna make


~~~~instrumental~~~~



There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day


They can say, they can say it will hurt my eyes
They can say, they can say that I will go blind
I don't care, I don't care if I go blind
Runaway to a world that we design
Every night I lie in bed
I'm on my phone, my eyes are red
A million memes are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million memes is all it's gonna take
A million memes for the world we're gonna make


However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your memes with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see
Every night I lie in bed
I'm on my phone, my eyes are red
A million memes are keeping me awake
A million memes, a million memes
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million memes is all it's gonna take
A million memes for the world we're gonna make
For the world we're gonna make

Anonim

czasami w snach
czy w środku dnia
gdy zamknę oczy
widzę świat
taki tylko mój
za mną mrok
widzę drzwi
wchodzę tam
gdzie nie był nikt
tylko ja mam klucz

mówią że
mówią że to jest szalone
mówią że
mówią że coś z głową mam
nie obchodzi to mnie
wiec drwijcie sobie
mogę żyć w świecie który stworzę sam

bo nocą gdy zapadam w sen
tysiące marzeń budzi mnie
a każde z nich
olśniewa setką barw
maluję nimi własny dom
nikt mi nie broni wierzyć w to
że z marzeń wybuduje własny świat
że w milionach snów
wybuduje nowy świat

wielki dom stoi tam
pełen kolorowych ścian
szafa z wyjątkowych miejsc
cząstki snów schowam w niej
sprawią ze uśmiechniesz się
nawet w smutny dzień

mówią że
mówią że to jest szalone
mówią że
mówią że nie wierzą nam
nie obchodzi to mnie
więc drwijcie sobie
wszystkim wbrew razem stwórzmy własny świat

bo nocą gdy zapadam w sen
tysiące marzeń
budzi mnie
a każde z nich
olśniewa setką barw
maluję nimi własny dom
nikt mi nie broni wierzyć w to
ze z marzeń zbudujemy własny świat
że w milionach snów
zbudujemy nowy świat

gdziekolwiek byś zamierzał iść
pozwól mi z sobą tam być
pokaż mi te sny
i nawet gdy wybierzesz źle
obiecaj że weźmiesz tam mnie
przeznaczone nam
razem wejść w ten wymarzony świat
ten wymarzony świat

bo nocą gdy zapadam w sen
tysiące marzeń budzi mnie
a każde z nich
olśniewa setką barw
(olśniewa mnie tysiącem barw)
i malujemy nimi własny dom
nikt nam nie broni wierzyć w to
że z marzeń zbudujemy własny świat
z miliona snów
zbudujemy nowy świat
zbudujemy nowy świat



⊹ 𝘈𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘩𝘺𝘳𝘢 𝘚𝘢𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘢 ܀

School life makes my days
Good and Bad things happen as always
But, it’s okay
I’ll get through it my way

I’ll try my best
I won't do any less
My energy will fight it
I’ll do everything complete

Lessons are full
Teachers are cool
My bright smile softer than wool
I’m Andira ready to go to school

yes

ku merenung
dan terdiam
mengingat kehidupanku
aku terbuang

ku dihina
setiap hari
oleh mreka di skitarku
hatiku hancur

katanya Tuhanku
Dia tak nyata dan mereka bilang aku gila
aku pun selalu dijauhi
oh Tapi Aku tak peduli

kuTau dia ada disini
berada slalu denganku
di dalam setiap keadaanku
mreka bisa menghinaku
bahkan menjatuhkan aku
tapi Tuhan slalu mengangkatku
ya Tuhanku slalu membelaku

kau datang kerumahku
memaki mencela ayahku
kau tak menghargai
ku tetap menjamu-mu
memberi makan dan minum
tetap kau singkirkaaan

kaupun berkata Tuhan tak nyata
kau samakan aku dan penjajah
tetapi aku dan dia berbeda
tak semua orang kristen jahat

engkau bisa menghinaku
juga bisa memakiku
tapi aku sungguh tak perduli
karena aku tahu pasti
bahwa Tuhan itu ada
dan dia slalu melindungiku
tuhan slalu melindungi aku
